Home Sweet Home: Edwardians


The little boy is wearing quite an outfit!  The sign in the window says 'Howay Pianoforte Tuning Expert and Musical Instrument Repairer'.  Posted from Pulham in December 1908 to: Miss E.E. Holt, Woodlands, High St, Lowestoft, Suffolk.
The message reads:
'Dear E,
There is just a photo of our house with Pop standing at the gate.  How are you all fond love to Aunt and Uncle. Yours Jessie.'

The girls' dresses vary in their fanciness according to age - assuming that they are from the same family.  Note the female servant standing in the doorway.

The lady pictured is possibly 'E. Anderson' who has signed the reverse and has written: 
'To dear Clarrie with love and best wishes.
Each cloud has a silver lining,
Though we may not see its light;
The sun has not ceased its shining,
Though hidden awhile from our sight.'
